In an unusual move, a Hamilton County grand jury decided Tuesday to ignore a murder charge.

Prosecutors presented evidence seeking a murder indictment against Ronald Williams, 24, for shooting to death Lionel Phillips in an April 21 incident. Instead, the grand jury ignored that allegation that carried a potential life sentence and instead indicted Williams on weapons charges.
